@GM: This isn't the weirdest team dynamic I've seen. I just joined a Skull & Shackles campaign. One person's playing a Ranger (favored enemy: aquatic humanoids). I'm an Undine. ;-)
On a different note, if Ulrik/Vironus want to read my latest spoilered comment, it's fine. It gives a good picture of Rogar's thoughts on their characters. Could be helpful in figuring out (ooc) how to continue molding and shaping our fledgling team of adventurers. :-)
I have had a few campaigns with the same sort of thing Rogar, highly amusing as I usually try to keep my special heritages a secret so nobody knows. When they eventually find out they get a little angry but can understand (usually) why I kept it a secret.
I am guessing that Vironus and Ulrik will have an encounter, where as Rogar, Marcus and I will just have nothing.
Yeah, my S&S character has amnesia and didn't know he was an Undine - until the party got attacked by Reefclaws. That's when the swim speed/water breathing/shapechanging kicked in. The Undine-hating Ranger flipped out and tried to murder me. We're currently doing the Dread Pirate Roberts/Wesley thing: "Good night. Sweet dreams. I'll probably kill you in the morning."
We'll see what happens encounter-wise. I wouldn't be surprised if Ulrik/Vi set off something. Of course, on the last foray into town, you and Marcus didn't get an interesting encounter (at least not that I'm aware of), so it is your turn....
Ah that's brilliant. I hope that your characters survives and is able to turn the Ranger to your side.
Well we are exploring places that have already been explored so unless Cindi was expecting company I doubt we will get into much trouble. But Vironus and Ulrik will probably start something, just to have a fight :P
not much of a town, almost everyone at the docks :P
though I wouldn't put it past them.
yea, sorry. monday is the night of my f2f game :P it'll be up in a moment.
I'm just waiting to see if we can get into any of the buildings around here, to dig for a little more information.
yea, sorry. monday is the night of my f2f game :P it'll be up in a moment.
f2f? Face to Face?
Guessing so. :p
I run a Rise of the Runelord's game and just bought the anniversary edition for £28, along with the crit and fumble card packs for £7 each, having borrowed the Hardcover of the Anniversary edition from River and finding it a lot easier to follow in comparison to the PDF of the original telling.
yea, face to face. wish i was half as good with that as i can be online. had a RotRL starting, made a genie for it, and school picked up for the dm (teacher)
I agree, IejirIsk. I love f2f, but I'm much better at role-playing over a PbP. Something about the written word makes it easier to get in the characters' heads. I guess it's the gift/curse of the Introvert. Or maybe it's that I (like many gamers) have a negative CHA mod. :-)
have a friend that can do great in f2f. just not I. I cant really act, and am a bit of a introvert. though my cha probably ranges the gap between -2 and +2 :P
Maybe that's why I'm the opposite then. I'm pretty outgoing, fairly charismatic according to others and generally like being social, so I much prefer the pace and interaction of a real life game, as opposed to a text based one.
@Rogar: I am the opposite. I have been told I get to into character. Especially when I only have 1 PC to control. This has led to a LOT of my PCs having multiple personalities, Cohort, or a talking Familiar/Animal Companion.
In my case, I enjoy tabletop games. This is my first PbP game and it's entertaining so far...
But yeah, I prefer face-to-face, the nonsense chatting, snacks and good company in general.
I have played Face to Face games and I like the pace of them as well as the company, however Play by Posts are better for actual roleplaying, even if the games do take a lot longer to do.
hiding in the triumvir's house?!? alright.
Lol, well it's unoccupied, and although it may endanger us, we'll have a better idea of what's going on.
fair enough. just ran first f2f game in a while... and, well... was interesting. got through half the mod (crown of kobold king) and have one person self infecting secretly. and rolling hellacious stealths when needed vs high wis classes... passive perc is amusing at times...
Self infecting?
oh good... was starting to worry. glad to hear good things come your way.
I'm kinda in the same boat :)
Having a few internet difficulties and it should be repaired soon, I will come on as often as possible though. Just thought I should let you know, I haven't left the campaign, just difficult to get on.
alright, i think i'll move it ahead a few hours, at work tonite. and no, i haven't forgotten, just dealing with RL fun, a f2f game, and just plain tired. not of the game, just in general. I do check it at least once a day.
Is this now dead guys?
I hope not, I just don't know what else to say or do. I am still holding my spell just in case he reappears and trying not to say too much to ruin my concentration on the spell.
Yea, there's nothing we can do unless this guy really has left.
I guess he'd have attacked us by now if he was still here.
If it is night time then I guess we could move on to investigate...
Yea. :)
I was hoping Rogar would find some secret door or something...
Sorry about the silence, guys. I've been GMing two conventions and ended up making myself extremely sick. I'll try to get caught up tomorrow.
Oh, and I don't think I'd had a high enough perception check to notice any secret doors, but I can always try again. Just let me know.
Sorry, I hoping isnt dead too. been trying to recover from RL fun...
Marcus was counting on Rogar, since he said that before their meeting he was a builder of sorts.
IIRC, you can take 20 in the Perception check making a intensive search for unusual architecture... and even gain a bonus if they are stone-related.
However taking 20 requires an hour and also can't be done if you are threatened or distracted.
At 2min per 5ft square, taking 20 won't be an option until we know if the guy's still here or not. :-(
He isn't.
